There is development work on a mysql/mariadb connector that Alex discovered requiring some changes in how the connecter is built. When working with the leading edge source code, I had to install MariaDB. Then I was informed that I needed to work with the 4.0 source code. That is when I had to re-install Ubuntu. But after that, I was able to build two mysql-connector-ooo.oxt: x86 for 32 bit AND x86-64 for 64 bit. As soon as I can finish everything within these files, I will upload them to the Extension section of the LO website. The working parts of these files work, but the documentation part is not what it should be yet.

 Hi :)
Thanks Dan. That sounds like a bit of a nightmare. I tend to prefer testing new things on a spare machine or on a spare partition but it's not always possible.

Apparently it also doesn't work on Macs although i'm entirely certain how far that goes. For example could Base as a front-end on a Mac read MariaDb as a back-end on a Debian server. Presumably it does but i don't know of anyone that has tried it.

Tom :)

          But if you should change your mind, you might find it
    difficult to
    go back to MySQL. I had to re-install Ubuntu 12.04 LST to remove
    all of
    the MariaDB files. Something similar happened when I tried MariaDB
    a few
    years ago.
